My condolences go out to Christina’s family at this devastating time. RIEP in the arms of the Angels 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️
I only met Kristina on 11 Feb 24 and can not accept that this lovely person is gone. Her pleasant personality and the way she embraced motherhood warmed me to her so much.
I’m so sorry that Kristina wasn’t given more time to have life with Tomasz and their little Maja.
My heart goes out to all her nearest and dearest for the loss they have to suffer now .
RIP lovely Kristina🙏🏻❤️
From The Bendall Family
A much loved daughter , a wonderful mother to Maja and a very much cherished sister and partner. She was also an adored niece by her many aunts and uncles . A loyal friend to all , and a beautiful cousin taken too soon x loved and missed forever in our hearts RIP Sylvia Bob David Paul xx
I still remember when we went to Moseley Folk and Arts Festival back in 2022 with Eszter and Kristina said: “guys I need to tell you something important, I am pregnant!” One sec later I told Kristina I was pregnant too just with a few days difference. I couldn’t believe it, we had so much fun that day and had some mocktails to celebrate it! 12th of April of 2023 little Maja was born and 3 days later was Nico’s turn. We really miss you and our endless whatssap conversations ♥️
Kristina was one of our Bachelor students when she started with Siemens – that was quite some time ago, and yet it feels like it was just yesterday. She will always be with us in our memories, she was such a warm and lovely person, and all our thoughts go out to her family and closest friends.
My colleagues at the College all remember her with fondness, as well as with tremendous sadness at her passing.

Kristina brought so much fun and laughter. I will miss our weekly WhatsApp chats. She loved T and Maja, her parents and sister and would provide updates on Marley.
Such a bright light who will be greatly missed by all who knew her but will live on in Maja.
There are no words. A true gem of this world taken from us. We shall miss your smiles and your bossiness as Mother Hen of the group. Your epic fashion sense and your genuine kindness to anyone and everyone. The world is sadder without you in it Goodie. Love ya pal xxxx
My sincere condolences to Kristina’s Family on this sad occasion may she rest in peace RIP xx
Heartfelt condolences to Tomasz & little Maja, and all Kristina’s family at this horrific time. What an absolute corker of a person this world has lost. Kristina knew her own mind but wow was she gracious and humble at the same time. Never afraid to call something out for what it was, and so refreshingly honest about life. Whatever she wore she rocked and whatever she said, it was said with gumption & people listened. I can still hear that giggle of hers now.
I am shocked this has happened & that we have to say goodbye to Kristina tomorrow. She will be missed so much xx
Energy, passion and enthusiasm are just a few words that come to mind when we think of Kristina. It does not feel possible that such a bright light has gone from this world – our hearts truly go out to those closest to her for their tragic loss, wishing you strength and comfort at this tragic time.
Mel Collier and all Kristina’s friends and colleagues at Ramboll
Tina poo, I first met you at work over 10 years ago, I never worked in cost before and you helped and supported me, that support continued till this day, you really were my rock. Your ability and work ethic was incredible, I never met a tougher, harder working person. You always used to say you were a grafter, and you learnt this from your parents, but you were also so amazing intelligent. You were also so kind, constantly helping and teaching others. Despite working such long hours you always made time to see your friends and family. Every weekend you were off visiting people. Even up until recently you used to call me on the journeys and we would talk for hours. I’m gonna miss the “Goodridge gossip”, all about your parents and Marley and especially how proud you were of your sister and how well she was doing in her life.
Before you moved away from Leeds you randomly stayed with me for a while. I would come home to you watching RuPaul’s Drag Race, you would be giggling and cackling with laughter. You were someone who just enjoyed life. You helped me/pushed me to paint my walls and I am sat here looking at the good job we did. Whenever you would visit you would always make a nice comment about my latest DIY improvements, you always genuinely meant it and knew exactly what to say to make people feel better.
When you left Leeds I was upset and thought we would lose contact, but we remained friends. I very much looked forward to your visits and when we would catch up, it was like you never left. When you told me you were expecting, I knew you would be an amazing mum, and you were. Of course when you had Maja, you did it your way, minimal fuss you just got on with it. When I saw you with her, I knew she would be the most loved baby in the world.
When I heard the news you had passed, it destroyed me. Selfishly I miss you and I am very sad you are no longer in my life. You taught me so much, you were there when my dad died, you were there when I had a bad or good day. I couldn’t ask for a better friend.
I am also so sad you did get longer time here. You had bought a house and made it a home. You had planned and made the house and garden so nice. You had the most perfect child. You used to tell me about T and how much he loved his job and how proud you were of him. You worked so hard so that Maja had the most amazing future planned. You had so much to live for.
I am glad we got to have the gift of knowing you, even though it was shorter than planned. x
From the moment I first met Kristina, I knew there was something special about her. Her energy, enjoyment and enthusiasm for life was so motivating and inspirational and helped me so much to go through some hard times…..I wish I could return it in any way….
Checking our WhatsApp group was the highlight of my days. I still think this tragedy is unreal, I miss our conversations so much and I wish I could still go for a coffee with Kristina and Maja on Mondays before my yoga class. It’s so incredibly sad that this won’t happen any more… love you and miss you so much Babe 💔💔💔💔
I knew Tina from our emo days in Southampton. She left her mark as a smart, fun, down to earth and kind human being who always livened a night out, had excellent taste in music, even better dress sense and could throw some shapes.
I’m shocked and deeply saddened we’ve lost her so early and my thoughts and condolences go to her family and loved ones who’ve lost this bright light. I’m glad to have known her for this short while and will cherish those memories.
Xx
So sorry and shocked to hear about Kristina, my thoughts are with her family and friends. I worked with Kristina at OneSubsea and afterwards I heard from her from time to time including quite recently.
Kristina was liked by everybody at OneSubsea, she was smart, very hardworking, helped others, and was fun to work with. She will be remembered.
